BW was vying for the starting job when Mack got hurt. But BW then won the starting job in the summer. He played well in the first game. He wasn’t “pulled after half a game.” The first game was a blowout and the other QB, Gabriel, also played. BW was named the starter for the second game but was scratched at the last minute due to injury according to UCF’s coach. Gabriel took advantage of his chance and played great. Which is exactly why handing the reins back to BW didn’t make sense. Hence the Wally Pipp reference. You understand that Pipp was NOT nearly as good as Gehrig, right? Gabriel is the future. He is the “Gehrig” to Wimbush’s “Pipp.” It only makes sense to go with him. I’m not saying he didn’t overtake BW and deserve the job. He did. I’m not saying that BW is a better QB. I was just adding to the comment about BW that he was in fact the starter before injury, which is simply the truth. Why you go so far out of your way to dump on a good former ND kid is beyond me. I do agree with you that BW was a “stop gap.” Of course. He was a one-year player, certainly in case the younger guys weren’t quite there. Gabriel seems to have made that moot.
